Effortlessly Dreamy: Jenna + Ross' Hometown Romance

Teenage sweethearts, Jenna and Ross met at a local disco, fell in love and have been together ever since. To celebrate their 15 years of romance, the only location that made sense was their hometown where they both grew up and first fell in love. Luckily the beautiful Haddo House wasn't far, and to compliment it Jenna found the most beautiful wedding dress by Naomi Neoh - which Craig and Eva Sanders captured equally beautifully for us all to enjoy...

Jenna and Ross first crossed paths 15 years ago, whilst Jenna was still in school, and Ross was beginning his first job. They met at a Highland Games disco and have stuck together ever since. Too cute...

A few weeks before Ross' proposal Jenna got suspicious but kept quiet. Then on the day Ross managed to surprise her after all..."He proposed In Edinburgh, with the castle in the background. I'd love to say it was a surprise but, admittedly, I had Ross sussed a good few weeks beforehand - oops! However, he did have some really sweet "souvenirs" that he presented me with during the proposal, such as our first ever cinema tickets from 2000, which I didn't even know he still owned."

To celebrate their wedding Jenna and Ross chose the stunning Haddo House nearby to where they both grew up.

Beautiful bride Jenna explains what made Haddo House the perfect venue for them..."We liked the idea of hiring a National Trust for Scotland property. That way, you are contributing to an important Scottish charity, and you get to enjoy a listed historical building and all its beautiful details. The big wooden Canadian Hall attached to Haddo meant that we could have the best of both worlds: an elegant, romantic daytime setting... ... and a great dance-floor for the party afterwards!"

To perfectly match her own dress Jenna chose nude bridesmaid dresses in a similar fabric for her two bridesmaids, which she found online.

Jenna documents the process of styling running up to the day..."For weeks (maybe months!), I spent my evenings with my craft tools, lace, and lots of card! I handmade all of our invitations and dressed the venue in the same floral, rustic style as those. I made the table names and place-cards, hand-wrote the menus, made a seating plan out of a mirror that we'd never got round to hanging, and my mum made 16 metres of bunting trimmed with lace. It was hard work, but I wouldn't have done it any other way."

As favours, Jenna's uncle and godmother made jars of jam, which we decorated with cute floral fabric covers. Dainty delicate paper butterflies made by Jenna's aunt were then placed on the edge of each guest's water glasses. Such a unique little idea!

Despite all the beautiful elements of the wedding Jenna and Ross recount their favourite moment as the speeches and later into the night as people blissfully danced the night away. "I remember watching the party that was taking place on the dance-floor and just feeling so lucky to have all our favourite people under one roof, and seeing them having an amazing, fun time together!" Very sweet and definitely something to keep in mind when you're stressing over little décor details.

A huge congratulations to you both and thanks so much for sharing your wedding day with us all! A big thank you also goes to Craig and Eva Sanders for sharing their work with us. To see more from Craig and Eva Sanders visit www.craigsandersphotography.co.uk
